Ladder to the Moon

ABOUT THE SONG 
I had just started to learn how to finger pick and smoothly transition from chord to chord at this point. I think it is the earliest finger picking song that I have written. It's meant to be just a lullaby, the lyrics are very dreamy. The song was actually inspired by a Georgia O'Keefe painting called "Ladder to the Moon", and I remember finding the image in a magazine and cutting it out. I had put scotch tape around the entire clipping to preserve it; I don't remember where this clipping ended up, probably in a box somewhere, but that image inspired me to write a song about a Ladder to the Moon, and when I looked at that picture, I just heard a lullaby in my head.

Verse 1: 
In a place 
Far away 
I will dream of you to come and
Take my hand
Understand 
That I don't want no one but you...

Chorus:
Ladder to the moon
Ladder to the moon 

Verse 2: 
I know one day 
I'll fly away 
And soar above 
The clouds and hold you 
In my arms
Safe from harm 
And never let you go 
Ever again

Chorus:
Ladder to the moon 
Ladder to the moon 
Ladder to the moon 

Verse 3: 
I'll wish upon a star tonight
And dream that 
You're holding me tight 
In my room 
Where we'll soon 
Find that ladder to the moon 

Chorus:
Ladder to the moon 
Ladder to the moon 
Ladder to the moon ...
